Product Overview (PMC-1308)
The PMC-1308 is the ideal equipment for connecting RS232, RS422 or RS485 enabled serial devices to an IP-based network, making it possible to access these serial devices over your Ethernet network for monitoring and control applications. The PMC-1308 supports redundant networking with its dual Ethernet ports in 10/100BaseT or 100BaseFX configuration. The PMC-1308 has been specifically designed with industrial automation in mind and therefore provides un-surpassed performance and reliability even under the harshest industrial environments. The PMC-1308 comes standard with extended operating temperature range and provides 3kV isolation protection for its RS-485 ports. The RTU option provides Mastering capability and local data caching to enhance overall system performance. Not only does the RTU option support the polling of Realtime data, it also supports the uploading of Data Logs, Event Logs and Waveform Logs through one of the Mastering protocols from CET and 3rd-party devices that provide these advanced capabilities.
